I have read through some of the posts comtaining info on ignitions but am comfused. I need a means of timing retard, what is the best way to go(MSD/Crane?)

Also what is the standalone stuff... DFI gen6 ,Haltech...etc
any explanation on this would be greatly appreciated!

What i have know..
haltech- timing adj. and fuel map adj. <-- do these give
DFI- fuel map and sensors only <-------- a better spark like MSD ign.?

most people get to retard timing are
msd dis2 = rpm retard
or
crane HI-6DI2= you may have it retard according to boost
Michael 99gs- hrc stage 2

msd-dis 2 (6212) it's new and it's programable. It's sweet, all kinds of adjustments you can make via a pc, or hand held

thanx guys

well yah the programming msd dis2 is cool if you know what your doing ...

which way is best to retard timing ... By boost (crane) or rpm(MSD)?

The Crane can retard timing by boost, via an in-car control, and with an external switch. The MSD one can retard timing via boost (I think), an in-car control, or via RPMS. I may have missed some retard capabilities of either unit, but you get the picture. They are comparable products, but the programmable MSD looks really nice…

the programmable MSD ignition for us is the DIS-2, right?

yah, but you need the programmable one not the normal one...

do ya by chance know the part # or model #?

dis-2 programmable ignition part # PN 6212*
